Sampled at the ’11 GABBF. Amber color with a thin off white head. Oak and butter in the nose. Thick mouthfeel. Flavors of dark caramel, sherry, oak, vanilla and a little earth. Nice Barley wine.

Draft at GABBF. Murky variegated golden brown color, thick cream colored head. Aroma of vanilla and toffee. Taste has rich. Utterscotch, chocolate, toffee definitely a big beer.

On tap @ Twister Creek. Clear amber with the tiniest head. Aroma of figs, caramel, oak and some pine and citrus. Flavor is mostly sweet and malt with caramel and lots of dark fruit flavors, there is a light bitterness and alcohol taste. Medium to full in body with very light carbonation and a sweet, syrupy mouth feel. Great beer from Denali, the oak and base beer work great together. Just wish that the carbonation was a bit higher.

Great Alaska Beer And Barleywine Fest 2011. Clear orange amber color/ fleeting head. Big bourbon vanilla, wood barrel aromas. medium bodied with soft co2. Spicy caramel, dry wood, vanilla, pit fruit flavors- smooth and easy drinking.
